On the edge of Austria's scenic Lake District, just 20 mi/30 km east of Salzburg, St. Wolfgang is a romantic little town known for its Pilgrimage Church whose nine altars range in style from Gothic to baroque. The church's treasure is the intricately carved winged altarpiece by Gothic master Michael Pacher.
For a stunning view, take the Schafberg cogwheel railway up the mountain behind the village (open May-October).
